High Temperature Spectroscopy

Thursday, 07 April 2016

Avantes has significant experience facilitating spectroscopic reflection or emission measurements in high temperature environments. Performing optical measurements inside cracking furnaces and a variety of other harsh environments requires specialized fiber optics. Avantes offers a variety of standard to custom probes which are capable of operating in the range from 500C up to 800C. The probes interface seemlessly with Avantes AvaSpec instruments to facilitate measurements over the range from 200-2500 nm.

High temperature spectroscopy can provide very useful information to researchers and industrial end users that need a deeper understanding of their reaction dynamics. In situ measurements of reflection, absorbance and emission can be facilitated through the use of fibers optics. The fiber optic sampling process is unobtrusive and provides for physical separation of the sampling interface from the analytical instrumentation of a few meters up to >100 meters depending on the wavelengths being studied.

Avantes offers probe solutions for operation inside of cracking furnaces as well as many other harsh environments. The fiber optics used for these probes are specialized metal coated fibers that can withstand temperatures in the range of 500-800C. Probes are available in various lengths and diameters and may include a gas purge option (see image). Multiple standard and custom probe configurations are available at affordable prices.
